Fluorous Synthesis of Hydantoin-, Piperazinedione-, and Benzodiazepinedione-Fused Tricyclic and Tetracyclic Ring Systems.

Fluorous proline derivatives generated from one-pot, three-component [3+2] cycloaddition of azomethine ylides are employed for different post-condensation reactions to form hydantoin-, piperazinedione-, and benzodiazepinedione-fused tricyclic and tetracyclic ring systems. The high synthetic efficiency is achieved by conducting fast microwave reactions and easy fluorous-solid phase extractions for reaction mixture purifications. Methods developed for these novel drug-like heterocyclic compounds can be applied to diversity-oriented library synthesis.
